Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for the semen collection of boars.
  • the boars are usually eaten on a so-called boar phantom, which is accepted and jumped by the sexually stimulated boar as a jumping partner.
  • Absamvorgang is usually proceeded by the so-called hand method.
  • the saber grasps the spiral tip of the Eber-penis as soon as the boar has begun the search movements and the penis tip has left the prepuce.
  • the Absamer now tries to stimulate the penis tip in his fist over partly pulsating pressure and achieve a full erection. After erection begins the ejaculation and thus the actual semen production. The ejaculate is caught with a cup.
  • the abatement technician can not move away from the phantom during the entire ejaculation process ⁇ must exercise relatively high pressure by hand.
  • the Absamungsvorgang thus requires a relatively high expenditure of force and is uncomfortable for the Absamungstechniker.
  • an artificial vagina provided internally with a tube that can be filled with warm water and air, with which the pressure and heat applied during ejaculation and exerted on the boar penis can be produced , After placing the erect boar penis in the artificial vagina and inflating the tube disposed therein, e.g. by means of a bellows, the ejaculation process can be stopped without further holding by a person.
  • a disadvantage of this artificial Absamungsvoriques is that after each Absa ⁇ mungsvorgang a complex sterilization of the artificial vagina is required in order to prevent Hy ⁇ gieneeproblemen. Furthermore, the artificial vagina can not correspond to the natural one, and in particular at the beginning of the ejaculation process. high sensitivity can be achieved, so that not all boars can be killed by this method, which is disadvantageous for the farms.
  • the object is achieved by a device for the semen collection with the Merkma ⁇ len according to claim 1 and by a method having the features of claim 25.
  • the device according to the invention for the semen collection of boars comprises a grip strip and a clamping device for releasably clamping the grip strip placed around a boar penis, with which the grip strip can be fixed.
  • the device according to the invention has the advantage that the grip strip can be arranged in one hand, with which the Eberpenis can then be seized and brought to erection and ejaculation in accordance with the conventional procedure, whereby the sensitivity of the hand of the ablation technician is directly affected can be used.
  • the grip strip placed around the boar penis can be clamped in a clamping device without interrupting the application of pressure so that the required pressure is then exerted by the clamped grip strip and the holding or pressure exertion by the ablation technician is no longer necessary.
  • complete Ejaku ⁇ late good hygienic quality can be obtained from all matable boars.
  • the grip strip according to the invention is preferably made of a flexible, compressible material so that a pressure close to that exerted by the natural hand is achieved. Further, a rough, non-slip surface is preferred for the grip strip so that the spiral tip of the boar penis can be securely fixed to the grip strip.
  • Suitable materials for the grip strip according to the invention are, in particular, materials having low thermal conductivity and providing a feeling of heat on the skin.
  • P refers PUR, EPDM, silicone, latex rubber, sponge rubber or other suitable, in particular foamed, materials.
  • At least one surface of the grip strip can be provided with in particular round, angular or otherwise shaped nubs and / or with longitudinal or transverse strips of the same or different height and width.
  • the nubs or stripes are arranged in particular on the side facing the boar penis, so that one of the natural situation, i. the natural cervix, as similar a surface as possible is produced.
  • the nubs and / or stripes are arranged in a pattern.
  • the knobs can, for example, be arranged in rows oriented transversely to the longitudinal side of the grip strip, the knobs being offset in adjacent rows from one another.
  • the grip strip according to the invention may be provided on at least one surface with one or more adhesive portions so that it can be glued to the hand and in particular to the surface of a glove, in particular a disposable glove.
  • the grip strip can also be held on the palm of the hand with one or more retaining straps guided over the back of the hand.
  • the grip strip according to the invention preferably has a length between 10 and 30 cm, a maximum width between 2 and 10 cm and a thickness between 0.1 and 3 cm, which in particular depends on the material selected for the grip strip.
  • the grip strip may also have the shape of a closed ring.

  • a divided into three sections with approximately the same length strip is conceivable, wherein the section in the middle of a constant width and the two end portions each having a decreasing width to the ends.
  • the grip strip may have a heat-releasing material which is embedded, for example.
  • heat-releasing materials are, for example crystalline substances in which by a mechanical stress, a phase transition is triggered, which leads to a heat release.
  • the mechanical stress can be carried out, for example, by applying pressure or by bending a substance arranged in the form of a rod or a plate.
  • the device comprises a planar body, which is arranged at least partially surrounding the boar penis under or above the grip strip, or can be fixedly connected to the grip strip and extends therefrom.
  • the flat body is a made of plastic, in particular dem ⁇ the same material from which the grip strip is made, made in the form of a tube bendable sheet having a sufficient width that the Eberpenis can be at least partially umge ⁇ ben, and a length, so that the leaf extends from the grip strip placed around the boar penis to over the penis tip.
